Jay Gertzman I wonder if somewhere, there is an underground
version of _Solomon's Vineyard_ (as was the case with erotica
published over the coutner or sent through the mail).
************* The book was banned in some fashion or other in
the States for many years. Eventually a censored version was
released in the States. I would imagine that any
republication of the novel in the last 30 years would be the
original.
I liked Latimer's humor and I liked the plot. I've got a
couple others of his that I am looking forward to
reading.
You questioned what his message was. I'm not sure I saw much
of that, really. If I was going to tap it for a meaning, I
would look at his loyalty to his murdered partner, and his
determination to right that wrong. Not a whole lot different
than Sam Spade's motivation in THE MALTESE FALCON.
